v0.103.0
the language tightens
published 2026-07-13 · 5 assets
The pre-1.0 window pays for itself: three breaking cuts in one wave, spec and engine merged in the same window. command: is argv-only (execve, no shell: an interpolated value can never break out of its argument) and the string form moves to shell:, the explicit door; semantics ride the field, never the YAML type. A bare ${{ tasks.X }} is now an error (NIKA-VAR-020): name the projection (.output, .status, .error, .duration_ms); the envelope is not a value. And the gate algebra becomes a normative spec table: the when-status pattern is a propagation choice, not redundancy. The whole corpus migrated in lockstep: docs, site, editor, kit and registry re-taught the same day.
